For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive.
In this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau

1910-1997, French Oceanographer

Respecting Nature…

These words of Jacques Yves Cousteau inspired us to create a range of disposable packaging products with respect to nature, knowing that human life without it has no chance of continuity, but even more, that the quality of human life is determined by the quality of nature.

With a continuous course of four generations, Intertan S.A. is the first Greek company to create its own complete range of disposable biological products, Tessera Sustainable Packaging®.

Our ambition is to protect the environment as a minimal contribution to the global effort to save the planet.

Why “TESSERA”?

With strong identity and a purpose, Tessera Sustainable Packaging® stands for the Greek word for Number 4 (four), a number of special importance for Nature.

Do you wonder why?

Earth, water, fire, air are the 4 dynamic natural elements. Those we want to protect in the years to come, in order to save the planet, the biggest “home” we live in.

– Number “Four”, or Tessera, in other words, also represents the fundamental forces in physics.

– Τhe basic states of matter and the seasons in a year, as well.

– At the same time, Tessera reflects the 4 mathematical operations.

– The four points on the horizon.

“Four” is the number of stability, order and completion of justice, while it is the number of the earth and mankind.

These are the reasons why we chose “Tessera” to be the brand name for our bio friendly products, leaving behind -after use – the minimum environmental footprint!

Recyclable

This term belongs to products that can be recycled, regenerated and ready to be used for the production of new products, utilized with the same or a different manner.

Consequently, their circle of life starts all over again and fewer new natural resources are wasted.

Biodegradable (through industrial compost)

Provided that products are discarted in the properly marked bins, this term is used to describe the biological process of their degradation and their fermentation by microorganisms and enzymes. This means that biodegradation can also be characterized as organic recycling.

The products themselves turn into harmless, natural elements such as carbon dioxide, water, salts, nutrients and biomass.

Compostable

The term means “natural fertilizer” and is produced by the decomposition of organic matter such as leaves, branches, food waste etc. According to the European Norm EN 13432, specific products can be biodegraded, through industrial composting, so compost is what they become. Depending on quality and nutrients, compost may be used as soil improver or fertilizer for a variety of cultivations.
